do any precautions need to be taken when mounting the ignition? does it get warm? is it ok to mount it in the cowl of a plane? does it need to be dampened for vibration? Didn't see much in the manual on this...
Sorry.. .first gasser.. I realize these are newb questions...
Matt,
There are no heat issues with the ignition. We have successfully mounted it in the cowl and in the fuselage next to the fuel tank with no problems. As with any electronics trying to isolate it a little from the vibrations will most likely increase its useful life although we have not found any issues whether we simply tie-wrap it to a firewall or encase it in foam. It is a pretty robust unit.
